A: File a petition in family court to be emancipated. There should be a help center in the county family court.

A: Being emancipated may not be the best course of action. You may want to move out of your parents home and then bring a petition in Family Court for support. If things are as you say, the court will order your parents to pay support to you. I strongly urge you to have a consultation with an attorney and discuss the facts before doing anything.
